A lot has changed at Colton Crossing in the last few years - The tower is gone, connector tracks have been rearranged several times, and now crossing itself is gone as a grade separation has been constructed to cross the Union Pacific's Yuma Subdivision (the former Southern Pacific's Sunset Route) over the BNSF Railway's San Bernardino Subdivision (the former Santa Fe Third District). This change, while disappointing to those railfans who find crossings at grade of interest, will certainly remove what has often been a choke point for rail traffic in southern California. (The green bridge just behind the UP is Interstate 10.)
